Chapter 200: Substitute for Gu Wan

Gu Chu stumbled as she was dragged away. Suddenly, another hand grabbed her. She turned around and saw that it was Gu Wan.

Lin Yin pulled her hand away. “Don’t touch Gu Chu with your dirty hand!”

How could Gu Wan let Gu Chu leave at this time?

She held her tightly and looked at Mrs. Gu. “Mom, you’d better tell them everything at this point. Otherwise, the rumors will linger. Just like me, even after I have returned to the Gu family, the things that happened before will stay with me for the rest of my life.”

She was clearly hinting at her mother. She paused and looked at Gu Chu and Gu Chu returned her gaze.

Strangely, Gu Chu actually saw the struggle in her eyes.

So, she really wasn’t her biological child?

No, she couldn’t believe it!

Back then, she only thought that her mother was biased.

She had never thought that she wasn’t her biological child!

“Gu Chu has been in the Gu family for so many years. Everyone in the Gu family, including her cousins, has been very good to her. They won’t change just because she’s not your biological child,” Gu Wan made it very clear to everyone. “Mom, just say it. No matter what, Gu Chu is still a member of the Gu family.”

Wang Yun said in a high-pitched voice in the crowd, “Mrs. Gu, just say it!”

Her sister, Jiang Qing, also said, “Yes, just one word. Tell us quickly!”

Gu Chu wanted to shake off Pei Xin’s hand, but Pei Xin refused to let go. She looked up, and Pei Xin’s expression was tense.

Pei Xin wanted to take her away from here. Could it be that he knew something?

Gu Chu called out in a low voice, “Pei Xin.”

Pei Xin was only one year older than Gu Chu, and she rarely addressed him in a serious manner. They always bullied each other the moment they met. At this moment, there was only sincerity in her voice.

Pei Xin gritted his teeth. Ever since he knew about her blood type, he knew that the truth would be revealed sooner or later.

Gu Chu shook Gu Wan off and walked past Lin Yin, Lin Yu, and Lu Shen. She finally arrived in front of Mrs. Gu.

Gu Wan was right about one thing. At this point, there must be an answer.

“Am I your biological daughter?” Gu Chu asked with a dry throat.

Mrs. Gu stood on the steps. The mother and daughter stood face to face. The entire hall quieted down.

At this moment, there was complete silence.

Gu Chu’s lips twitched. Before she could speak, Mrs. Gu said slowly, “at that time, you were still very young. I had forgotten that I actually never liked you when you arrived.”

She said the moment she came to the Gu family, not from the moment she was born.

Even though Gu Chu already figured it out, now that she had finally heard the truth, her mind became blank.

Mrs. Gu looked at the chandelier and recalled the past. “At that time, you came to me and called me ‘mom’. I pushed your hand away, but you kept coming back…”

“You were only three years old at that time. How could you tell what the adults were thinking?”

Mrs. Gu recalled the past and looked at Gu Chu coldly. “But I didn’t like other people’s children. What’s wrong with that?”

The color on Gu Chu’s face faded as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Later, Gu Wan went missing. My only daughter went missing. I couldn’t find her no matter how hard I tried. I felt like I was going crazy until you walked up to me and called me ‘ mom’. I seemed to have heard Gu Wan calling me ‘mom’.”

Her words moved many people, but Gu Chu was indifferent, as if Mrs. Gu was just talking to herself.

She continued, “from that day on, I tried to look for Gu Wan in you. In fact, the two of you don’t look like each other at all, but I couldn’t help it. If I didn’t transfer my longing and love to you, would I have survived the pain of losing my daughter?”

So that was it.

She pursed her lips. “No wonder you hated me the moment Gu Wan came back.”

So she was just a substitute for Gu Wan.

Mrs. Gu shook her head. “Actually, I’ve always hated you.”

These words were like a hammer smashing into Gu Chu’s heart.

She could not remain calm. “You lied to me!”
